IMyRoveMEN'T IN PLOW.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same Be 4it known that4 I, DANIEL H. HILL, of Union Springs, in the county of Bullock, and State of Alabama, have invented a new'and useful Improvement in Plows; andv I do hereby declare that tbe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing, forming part of this specific-ation.

The figure is a side view of my improved plow.

My invention has for its object t0 improve the construction of plow-frames, se as to make them stronger and lighter than the framesconstructed in the ordinary manner, while at the saine time causing them to run lighter and steadier; and

It consists in the slotted circular arm constructed and arranged in combination with the beam, upright, and standard, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the plow-beam, to the rear end of which is attached the upright B, which projects both above and `below the beam A, as shown in the ligure.

C are the handles, which are attached to the plowbeam A, and are connected with .the upper end of the upright B by a cross-bar, or round, as shown in the ligure.

D i s a curved bar, slotted longitudinally, made inI the form of a .quarter of a. circle,'and the ends of which are attached to the beam A, and to the lower end of the upright B, as shown in the ligure.

E is the standard, to the lower end of which the plow is attached.

The standard .E passes up through the slot in the curved bar D, and-through the slot in the beam A.

The standard E is secured to the beam A by a pin, or bolt, passing through a hole in said beam, and through one or the other-of the holes through the said standard E.

The standard E is adjustably secured to the curved slotted bar D, by a piu, or bolt passing through one or the other of the holes in thesaid standard E, and through one or the other of the holes, through -the said curved bar D, as shown in the drawing, .so that the plow may beset at any desired-pitch, or to` run at any desired depth in the ground.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The curved slotted bar D, constructed and arranged inv combination with the beam A, upright B," and 'standard E, substantially as herein shown and described, 'and for the purpose set forth.
